no, sounds like what you were looking at is for a 26mm carb (that probably comes with their 117cc kits, etc). The TB 88 racehead kits come with a 20mm shengway carb. You'll need jets for that specific carb, but from that point you'll need to determine what size pilot jet you'll need for the 20mm shengway carb... like, 35 or 38 or 42 or whatever... just some example sizes of pilot (slow) jets. And, that size is dependant on your set-up/mods, your elevation, humidity, and climate, etc. It's 90% all trial and error, that is unless you can find somebody in your area with the same set-up and use their numbers as a baseline to go on.
